Jewel Frauds.

There is CONSERVATION Just now in
the Palais Royal, and the jewellers of
Paris have found themselves the dupes
of what has not yet been pronounced to
be a fraud. Last year they were the
victims of diamond fraud. The gems
found at the Cape were more plentiful
and of inferior quality to the genuine
diamond of fifty years ago. The fire
was less brilliant and the stones had a
yellow tinge. An ingenious manipula-
tor stepped them in violet dye, and by
some chemical process they came forth
from the ordeal pure and brilliant
white. This industrious investigator
received as a reward of his research a
reeompense of six months Imprisonment
and the Palais Royal jewellers were for
the moment comforted. There are
some splendid rubies in the market
whose genesis it is very difficult to ac-
count for. Tested chemically they an
swer the true definition of the oriental
ruby; analysis shows them to consist of
all its constituents-and nothing else.
The chemist is satisfied, but the expert
has his doubts. The fire is not so bril-
liant, and there are certain yellow tones
which the true gem has escaped. 1t is
suspected that difficult problem has
been solved, especially since it is found
that these gems when broken up do not
follow regular line of cleavage, as a
crystal should, but split in all direc-
tions. 1t is suspected that Swiss artifi-
GERS have learned how to melt num-
Der of small rubies and consolidate
them into one. Ten carats' weight of
ruby sparks would be worth about ten
shillings. One ruby of ten carats would
be worth some hundreds of pounds.
The subject is serious one. and there
are both chemical and legal difficulties
in its treatment Experts are now en-
ployed to ascertain how the thing is
done, and then the judges will decide
whether the process or sale amounts to
fraud. Pail Mall Gazette.

Hygiene for Housekeepers.

l, Every woman needs to take regu-
laT exercise in the open air every day;
and that exercise should not be III the
nature of work, but of recreation.
2. As rule, housekeepers need to
eat more, of simple food. If the food
is simpler, less time will be needed in
its preparation, and what it lacks in
unwholesome richness and unneces-
sary variety, it will gain in nutriment
and digestibility. The result viii be
an improvement in the health of all the
family, and will injure no one but the
doctor.
3. Less time ought to be given to
the routine work Of housekeeping and
more to relaxation and recreation.
All that ''the best of wives" did not
do, and for the lack of which she be-
came an inmate of an insane asylum,
the housekeeper ought to do. The
woman who always stays at home, "
who 'never goes out of the house,
even ON Sundays" and who is al
ways doing something for her fam
ily," not only will have ''no ideas
| outside of her home," but will soon
come to have none even there.
The short of the matter is, that We
men II they desire good heaIth must
not be confined so closely to the cares
of the household. / know that many
women will look upon this advice as
absurd, and will say, 1T is all very
easy for you to preach, but quite an
other thing for us to practice. A wo-
mans duties involve a multitude OF
| little things, the importance of which
man never realizes until they are
| omitted, and then he is the first tc
find fault. These things must be done.
l cannot stop, l cannot find time &c
take out-of-door exercise and visit my
| neighbors."
Nevertheless, the fact remains, that
when serious illness comes to the
| mistress of the house, the wheels OF
| the treadmill cease to revolve, at least
for her Then the work either stop:
| entirely, or goes on under Other
hands, and is cared for by other heads.
The question is a pertinent one, would
it not be better to do less work while
in health, and thus avoid the sickness:
And even hired help is less expensive
than medical attendance. The ole
maxim, "A stitch in time saves nine,
and IAN ounce of prevention is worth
pound of cure" are worthy of con
sideration in this connection. - GooG

COMMENCEMENT BALL.
Justice Harlan's Visitor.

Justice Harlan tells a story of a man
who came to his house one night, an
entire stranger, sent in his card, and
when the Judge came down bluntly
told him that he proposed to make IA
fortune for both himself and the Judge
if the latter would furnish him informa-
ton about certain decision that was
pending, and was expected to affect
stocks. He would furnish the capital
and do the trading, dividing the profits
equally. The Justice was so complete
ly taken aback by the mans cool i'm
pudence that he scarcely knew what to
say, but the humor of the situation
struck him at once, and he asked the
caller if he would please stand up un-
der the chandelier, where he could get
n good look at his face. The stranger
stood the scrutiny without finching.
Then said the Judge: My friend, you
have asked something that is not only
improper and impossible, but your
proposition ought to tempt me to kick
you out of my house. | scarcely know
why / do not feel in the mood to do it.
/ do not think you are aware of the
significance of your proposition, and
therefore | shall not treat YOU as |
otherwise would. | am not going to
enter into a speculation with you, as
that would be wrong, but | will tell
you how you can get the information
you seek before any one else" The
mans face frightened up, when the
Justice continued; The day when
the opinion is delivered-I cannot tell
you when that will become to the
Supreme Court room and take seat
on the very first bench; then, as it is
read, the sound will reach your ears
first. Good evening. But wait a mo-
ment, sir. You should thank me for not
kicking you down stairs. - Washing
ton Letter.

OF Interest to Peach Growers.

In recent circular from Commissioner
Henderson, of Georgia, IL is made apparent
that in the partial failures of the peach
crop the particular orchards or trees that
escape the effects of frost are generally
the same in each recurrence of such fail
ure, and it is further stated that peach
orchards having this immunity from frosts
are found here and there throughout the
state In order TO call more general at
tention to this question and to learn from
the observations of persons in all parts Of
the state the cause Of these partial ex-
emphons, inquiries were made of the cor
respondents Of the department These
answers are of interest wherever the
peach is cultivated, and are here given in
substance:
In the answers received nearly all agree
in stating that the fruit least injured is on
the high grounds. The direction of the
slope of the hill, while it may affect the
time OF blooming, is a factor of little i'm
portance compared with that of its atti-
tude above the surrounding country The
typographical positions that prove best for
the certainty of the crop are as follows:
l. Mountain sides, from the base to the
altitude of 500 feet, regardless of the di-
| rection of slope. 2. Narrow valleys and
coves sheltered by high mountains. g.
Narrow areas skirting the base of high
mountains ON all sides. 4. Ridges or hills
| and escapements of table lands 100 to 500
feet above adjacent valleys. g. Borders
of large streams and lakes. Even in south
Georgia, where the country is generally
level, the exemption of the higher portions
of slopes adjacent to river valleys Is quite
common, and has its application not only
TO the peach crop, but to all fruits and
vegetables subject to injury from late
| spring frosts

Earthquake Experiences

| wish to say a word or two more con-
cerning that sense of something like
personal ferocity in the power which
laid hold of us, which i have confessed
to receiving from the first and longest
of the earthquake shocksi 1t after
wards appeared that everybody who
was cool enough closely to observe his
own sensations had experienced much
the same thing. One Englishman,
who arrived a few days later from
stricken Mentone, and who seemed to
cherish fresh and tender recollections of
his school-days, compared his feelings to
those of a boy whom the master seizes
and shakes violently, by the way of
prelude TO fogging. To another oc-
CURED the kindred image of the terrier
and the rat. A third of more pastoral
proclivities, thought of slender tree,
grasped by the mighty hand of one who
would shake off all its fruit. One and
all had the sensation of being laid hold
of by some ruthless and monstrous

should say, which the insect must
have which sees the giant foot descend

reasoning and excessively heathenish
impression / never was quite able to
rid myself. Deliver us, could have
said, on the authority of the Revised
Version, from the Evil One who has
done this thingw All through the next
three or four days,-days Of the most
serene and surprising loveliness, when
we used to go out upon the dry hillside,
and lie down for a little under the
olives, in the hope of catching a few
moments of thoroughly sweet and un-
tormented slumber,-I had ever the
notion that IL was lying under me, with
vast limbs gradually relaxing from
their awful spasm, and | could have
sworn at times that my messy couch
trembled little, as with the long
quiyer of subsiding sigh. 1t made
no difference how high we climbed.
| Up even to the almost Alpine heights
above the olive, where one could take
in the whole sweep of that enchanting
littoral, from the Esterel to far below
| Capo San Ampeglio, the same strange
fancy pursued us,-that of an immense
unknowable, and malignant power
which had made all those miles and
miles of sweeping land to futter like
the fold of a banner. l remember the
earthquake which visited Elijah in the
desert, in which, it was distinctly as

wondered if the next religion preached
in the parlors of Boston would b,

days later that Etna was in activ.

new sympathy with the pagan Creek

Large Fields and Long Rows.

Mr.. Bonham, secretary of the Ohio
state board of agriculture, is a practical
farmer and stock breeder, pork making
being one of his specialties. To make
pork profitably Mr.. Bonham grows large
quantities of corn to be fed with other
food. His corn fields contain twenty-five
acres each and are 40 rods long and
about one-third that width. The corn is
planted in check rows so it can be culti-
waited both ways. To illustrate the Diff
ference in cost of cultivating large and
small fields Mr.. T. B. Terry, who recently
visited Mr.. Bonham, tells in The Country
Gentleman that one of these twenty five
acre fields can be cultivated the long way
in three days, while the cross cultivation
the short way takes four and half days
The New England Farmer, commenting
on the above, says: SIN 1885 the cost of
the corn in the crib, exclusive of land rent,
was $500 per acre, or nine cents per
bushel. Including the rent of land the
cost would be about $13 per acre. And
this is the same whether the crop be
large or small. If 100 bushels are pro-
duced per acre the cost per bushel would
consequently be only thirteen cents, while
a crop of fifty bushels would cost twenty
six cents per bushel. The average yield
through the country being only twenty
six bushels the cost must be about fifty
cents per bushel. Large fields and long
rows will do much to reduce the cost of
this crop'

The proper time for making layers IL as
variable as is that for making cuttings.
But, as rule, layers should be made
while the parent plant is growing most
rapidly, because roots win be produced at
such times more readily than at any other,
although with several kinds It will make
very little difference, as they produce roots
freely under almost all conditions and
from all parts of the plant With the
larger proportion Of both deciduous and
evergreen trees and shrubs, layering
fully expanded and the new growth of the
season is fairly under way. If layered
earlier, many of the deciduous trees and
shrubs will bleed, - as it is termed. from
the wounds made on the layered parts.
and the sap flowing from these wounds
viii often corrode and otherwise injure the
exposed cells and entirely prevent the pro-
ductfon Of roots therefrom. Wounds
made in the branches of coniferous trees
during the winter and early spring months
are usually soon covered by the exudin4
resin, the severed and otherwise expOsed
cells thereby becoming fully protected, not
only against the influence of moisture
from without, but it effectually prevents
the formation of a callus and production
OF roots. For this reason, such conifers as
pines, spruce, and frs should always be
layered at time when the sap is thinnest
and flowing most rapidly as during the
nrst growth Of spring and early summer.
With some kinds Of hardy deciduous trees
and shrubs the autumn is the better sea-
son in which to make layers.

Mealy Potatoes.

Carefully wash the potatoes in plen-
ty of cold water with soft cloth or
brush; If they are to be boiled, peel off
a small ring of the skin from each,
and leave them in fresh. cold water.
Half an hour before they are wanted
for the table, put them over the fire in
plenty of salted. boiling water, and
boil them until they can be easily
pierced with fork, but not until they
begin to break open; fifteen minutes
for small potatoes, twenty to twenty
five for larger ones, viii be long
enough to boil them to this point.
When they are tender, drain them;
cover them with clean towel, folded;
set the saucepan where the potatoes
cannot burn, and keep them hot until
they are needed for the table. For
baking, carefully wash them, but do
not peel them, and allow at least q
half hour in a hot, oven for medium
sized potatoes Serve them as soon
as they are done, as they deteriorate il
